I'm guessing that might not work great considering last time I checked almost no one was using the debian packages due to antipathy between the debian maintainers and rubygems folks. Any know of any progress on that front?
I'm saying for Debian packages in general; I don't think anyone uses the Ruby packages in Debian/Ubuntu. It's a bit sad that people got in such a tizzy over it, because the Ruby people could learn a lot from Debian about packaging stuff and managing it over time.
